Hello, I do a lot of desktop photography for my ecommerce store (watch straps in case your wondering).
I need the speedlight angles to be more dynamic and having the speedlight mounted on the camera just doesn't provide the flexibility i need, because it's shot closeup, often the speedlight is overshooting nowheere near the subject.
Just thinking of getting a microphone stand that podcasters use, that clamp to the desk.
Any experieence with them? are there better solutions? Not really looking for mega expensive option, something £30-£40 ideally.
I forgot to say, almost all my photos are layer stacked, so i can't just hold the speedlight by hand as I need the light to be exactly the same place for 10-15 photos stacked together. Sometimes im doing a wristshot of a strap on a watch on my wrist. So I need the mount to be easily moved to get the light just at the right location.
